The influence of map complexity on interpolation accuracy.pdf

Creator:: Young, Brian K.
Abstract:: In this paper "map complexity" refers to the inherent intricacy of a mapped geographic pattern. Map complexity and sample size are two variables shown to influence the accuracy of interpolated dasymetric maps. An automated experiment was designed to investigate the precise relationship among map complexity, sample size, and the accuracy...

Equal contrast tint progressions for computer cartography

Creator:: Bernert, Joseph A.
Abstract:: A psychophysical bisectioning experiment was performed to evaluate equal steps within tint progressions on a high resolution graphics terminal. In the bisectioning experiment each respondent partitioned a tint progression by interactively defining colors that were perceptually equidistant between two previously defined colors. Twenty test subjects performed the test on the...

A Methodology to directly input data from an uncontrolled aerial photograph into a vector based geographic information system

Creator:: Sneed, Jacquelin M.
Abstract:: Historically the U.S. Forest Service has used uncorrected aerial photographs to delineate proposed and past management activities on the land base it manages. Transferring a boundary from an image not planimetrically correct to a planimetrically corrected image introduces errors. Positional accuracy of boundaries affects the number of acres the Forest...

Accuracy of community-based spatial data collection in a GIS

Creator:: Wood, Matthew N.
Abstract:: Training high school students to conduct field mapping and data collection of wildlife habitat on public lands produces important data for local government geographic information systems and introduces students to the field of geography. However, the positional accuracy of the spatial data is important for use in a GIS, as...

Color specification and cartography: a comparison of the Munsell Color System and the HLS system

Creator:: Yeaple, Anne
Abstract:: Progress in the development of color CRT's and color graphic hard-copy devices offers a new tool for the thematic mapper. From a cartographic perspective, the technology for displaying and producing color maps has advanced without concern for cartographic principles and conventions in the employment of color. Since it is necessary...

Expert systems in computer cartography

Creator:: Ulshoefer, Veit Stefan
Abstract:: The purpose of this paper is to describe the application of expert system concepts to cartographic problems. Expert systems, a subfield of artificial intelligence, are computer programs based on knowledge and symbolic reasoning. The basic principles of expert systems will be explained. Areas of cartography that are most suitable for...

The development of a Geographic Information System (GIS) for the Greenbelt Land Trust of Corvallis, Oregon

Creator:: Scarlett, Desiree
Abstract:: The purpose of this project, therefore, is to develop a GIS for a small geographical area that is currently of high priority to the GLT. The development of this GIS will be documented in a sequential fashion, so that it may serve as a framework for future endeavors. This paper...

Digital slope-aspect display using nearly continuous hue classes

Creator:: Weston, Frederick N.
Abstract:: Slope-aspect is the compass direction of a slope at a particular location on a given surface, and can provide a graphic tool for people who require an understanding of the pattern of slope-aspect variation across a landscape. Slope-aspect maps can be helpful for terrain analysis, watershed management, building site analysis,...

Geographic Information System model rating old-growth stand significance on the Olympic National Forest

Creator:: Wettengel, William M.
Abstract:: With increased attention being focused on the remaining old-growth forest resource in the Pacific Northwest a way to ecologically rate forest stands is needed to assist the U.S. Forest Service in its management decisions. A Geographic Information System (GIS) model was developed to rate old-growth stands in a 49,500 acre...

Production of an animated cartography sample for teaching and instruction, with musings on the nature and usefulness of animated maps

Creator:: Whaley, Kristine A.
Abstract:: Animated cartography is still a new field. It has been experimented with for years, but it has not gained general usage except partially in use by the news media. Nevertheless, certain subjects cry out for displaying the patterns of movement over time, such as historical patterns of migration and settlement,...
